Agree 100%. Been shipping via USPS Priority. Credit cards or checks.
Mostly to GA, CO, NV, MN, etc.. Almost in 100 stores. Do you have local stores near you? Once it clears FDA on Amazon, we're there.
(any contacts there will speed it up. Any experience with retail food sales on Amazon, anyone?)

For a while now, was only very high for a few weeks.

Excellent -- Thanks for mentioning.
Working on low-pricing for CH to offer some great prices.
Store ads would be fantastic as well.

I finally opened this thread. So basically, it's called Trader Joe's in the title but then it's all about some other company run by some dude who posts here? If so, that's cool, but the title is confusing.

it was in the works for over 2 years but became more popular in this ddf thread from mid-Jan last year:

The good news is that they are now in 85+ stores, and they just arrived into two stores in Australia: Rishon Foods and Kosher Kingdom.
(they are the Trader Joe's recipe.)

Ah, cool. So it was basically the DDF effect that boosted sales?

good question. it's still new. only hit the shelves in June. DDF helped to ascertain the need for quality chocolate for under $3.79/bag.
Heimishe brands don't taste so great and usually cost more.

Kosher for Pesach...

Are these able to be made kosher lpesach?

Quote from: CS1 on November 19, 2014, 10:27:54 AM

That's been a popular question along with, "Are these available in mini size"?

The price would be so much higher for a KPF product just for 8 days, that it would be more expensive to make all year-round, just to break even.
Most of the Schmerling options are good for the same needs where this would be used. Obviously, nobody is making cc cookies on Pesach. Once you are melting them, you may as well buy Schmerling's for the week. We are looking into mini-chips as an option. Most probably for bakeries and caterers in a 50lb size box.

great! What changed? There isn't even a major if any price difference!

BTW, interesting choice for the first store. What is the story behind that? When are they coming to the NY area?
